Re: YOUR DAILY EXPLOITS!

Bit early in the morning for exploits, but against all odds I have passed all three of my uni units, and rather admirably for the most part too. Despite the fact that I attended only the first 3 or 4 weeks and then studied the entire semester of courses in the period of 2 days before the exams, comi...

Re: The Black Terror - Pirate Lord of the Seven Seas

I do enjoy Alestorm. Who knows what Robert Benton likes though, I wouldn't be game at this point to say what his taste in music is.

Re: You are the final boss of a video game

Vagrant is the final boss that Shujinko faces off, after Shujinko has ruined his plans and essentially destroyed the base, even after having slipped out of his personal confines at the other side of the facility and with no equipment left on him. All that is left is to rescue the love interest/doubl...

Absolutely. He is the traditional "threat from beyond the stars". This is my rough-up description: Stardust the Super Wizard: Stardust is an alien being who possesses sufficiently advanced technology that is by most accounts indistinguishable from magic to regular people. He resides on a ‘...

Re: Universe Proposal: Powered Dominion

The REAL Black Terror. This is perhaps one of the most major players of the Powered Dominion universe, both in terms of physical power and political/social impact.

Re: [General]The Return of CHARACTER CONCEPTS

Fact of the matter is, there would have been the occasional soldier just like that, and possibly more than occasional. Not rampant, but certainly not non-existent. I wouldn't mind seeing a two-faced soldier who is a media darling back home but in warzones is just a nasty asshole, I think it could be...

Re: [General]The Return of CHARACTER CONCEPTS

First of all, why do pretty much all your characters who are older than 40 have some trait thait represses their aging? Heroes can retire, you know, he's 90. Also, I don't really like how he got his powers. If loving your country and running into a certain death is the requirement to activate metata...

Nah, Tim is also reinvented. There are plenty of other heros with sidekicks that have just as awful Secret Names too though. Sparky , Mike , Domino , Stampy , Ricky , Buddy and Ace all seem like viable targets. In the 40s-50s of course. By the 80s they'd be all grown up and bitter about their sideli...

And also his paralysis cure ends up turning people into superpowered beings. Whom later on also turn out to be massive rage serpents. Is a good thing he kept it to himself.

Re: Universe Proposal: Powered Dominion

He's a PIRATE LORD, and an inspiration for the masses. Despite being quite different in personality and power and everything, in terms of the importance he plays for the public, Black Terror is the Superman of Powered Dominion. Also, he gets imitators because between skull and crossbones (pirates, p...

Re: Universe Proposal: Powered Dominion

You can call it that. In many regions it may well continue functioning as a regular superhero 'verse, since I envisioned the Mongol Empire as being stretched a bit thin in the places it does control, and there are still places it doesn't control. The slums of Europe, Australia, parts of the Middle E...

Re: (MOAR) Mad Ideas!

Schools of magic just seems sensible. Every culture is going to develop different ways to utilise it, I personally feel it ridiculous to assume it wouldn't be as such. And they've been around for ages, so yeah.

I take it then that the level of technology wouldn't be to the same scale either then. This leads to an interesting idea, at least to me. Since comic-level tech is only a small part of Wayne Banner's empire, he could actually do pretty well out of this. Also, I'd be curious to see your take on eithe...
